I actually still own a Marantz Pronto RC5000 touch remote and software customization with it was GREAT!.
I'm actually beginning to hate this Logitech remote software after some days fooling around and customizing it to my components.
1. The software NEED internet access.
2. The Logitech component database isn't exact or duplicate of your remote, even by model. You can have numerous other buttons and features that may not exist on your component.
3. The software (even when updated to latest) is slow and very slow from step to step. I think it refers everything from Logitech server database.
4. Cannot directly learn from ori remote unless through software.
5. The firmware upgrade feature keeps updating it despite your own is already updated to latest. It doesn't bypass update it found to be latest.
Many other regrets lah..
I think this remote is overhyped!.

Marantz Pronto to pricey for me...
Here my answer.
1. That's true. When logitech ask me to answer a survey, One of my bad point is the internet requirements.
2. Agree with you. My 10 years old Sony TV remote setting have 10 - 15 more unknown button in Logitech. Take time for me to delete all that.
3. I have told Logitech about this. It's better if can download certain remote database to local for faster update to remote. I think Logitech want to control their database.
4. So far never use this function. But I was hoping to use the remote screen only for learning purpose.
5. That happen to me when try to check for update.
After all setting already 'in' the remote, everything is smooth... I really like the activities button and media button because it simplified the task. No need to press a few button just to change Astro channel. I just ask my 6 years kid to press 1 button to off all my equipments.
Your remote can donate to me if you
REALLY HATE it...
